In late 2022 I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This was after a long period of unexplained symptoms; weight loss, extreme fatigue, dry mouth, poor sleep and much more. 

For years I had been trying to gain weight and develop my fitness but felt I was always fighting a losing battle without knowing why. Since my diagnosis and now receiving the right treatment I finally feel like I can develop my fitness in the right way. The London Marathon has always been a bucket list goal of mine but always seemed out of reach. After now securing a spot I’m looking forward to taking on this challenge and fully closing the chapter on my previous way of life and beginning my new way of living in a much healthier and happier way. 

I'm proud to join Team JDRF for the TCS London Marathon on Sunday 21 April 2024. If you can, please help me reach my target. Any donation of any size is massively appreciated! 

I’m off to get some miles in 🏃‍♂️
